Camp Saguaro is nestled in a unique and rural area on the west side of Tucson, Arizona. With the Saguaro National Park Visitor Center, Tucson Mountain Park, and Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum all within four miles, there is plenty of opportunity to explore the outdoors. Tucson Mountain Park and Saguaro National Park boast hundreds of miles of hiking trails, and non-motorized mountain bikes are permitted on the trails in Tucson Mountain Park. Let us be your base camp for desert exploration whether it's hiking, riding, birdwatching, and learning. Come to Camp Saguaro and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the desert. What to expect: We are in a rural neighborhood where most parcels are 1-3 acres, we have seven acres. It's quiet around here but along with the natural sounds of the desert like yipping coyotes, and woodpeckers pecking, you may hear a horse, dog, or chicken. While we are on the outskirts of Tucson, we are not completely remote. We have carved our sites out of the natural layout of the desert. There are many kinds of cactus in our area in addition to the magnificent Saguaro, and uneven areas when walking. We keep it as natural as possible. We have a small "Mercantile" on property. This is our office, but we also have items you may have forgotten, and souvenirs made by local artists. Also available is firewood, and ice is for sale for your convenience. We have a small Laundry Shack (two washers, two dryers). You'll need cash for these things, we do not take any other form of payment at this time. Camp Saguaro is tobacco-free.

Such a fun and unique place to stay

Such a fun and unique place to stay. Highly recommend! Good for all ages. A little close to civilization, so there is urban noise. But if you're looking for a convenient location & fun place, this is it!

Cute and Cozy Adobe

Very unique and very cozy. A little hard to locate if you arrive at night. Make sure you read the description to bring your own air mattress or other sleeping materials. We went during November and with it chilly outside I was extremely warm! Our trip was very quick but this is everything that we needed. Definitely recommended.

This was a very cool campground and minutes away from the Red Hills visitor center and western portion of Saguaro National Park. Facilities were very clean and well maintained. Campsite are not on top of each other but we didn’t feel like it wasn’t private. As promised we had some very beautiful hummingbirds join us for breakfast. Site is about a hour drive from the eastern branch of Saguaro National Park. It was a very easy drive and we were able to do both parks in one day.
